So here’s something I should have posted quite awhile ago.\u00a0This is a ‘breakout board’ I made for controlling LED strips with Arduino over bluetooth or USB.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"PCB\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s a little PCB for an Arduino nano, bluetooth chip, and (3) 4-pin terminal blocks with PWR-GND-SN-CK, and a 2-pin block for PWR-GND input. It can be used with 3 or 4 pin LED strips, or anything really, servos, sensors, whatever.\u00a0I designed the PCB using Fritzing<\/a> and had it printed through\u00a0OSH Park<\/a>. If you’re interested in one let me know via the funkboxing contact form. I’ll offer just the bare board or a pre-soldered and tested version with a nano, bluetooth chip, and terminal blocks, or any variation thereof. I can’t really come up with\u00a0a price that makes sense, so if\u00a0you tell me what you’re planning on using it for and I think it’s cool I’ll probably give it to you pretty much at-cost.<\/p>\n

And here’s an\u00a0LED array I made with it.<\/p>\n

\"Array\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It uses (64) WS2811 LED’s in an 8×8 array, an Arduino Nano, bluetooth chip, and a USB battery pack. It’s a double-decker sandwich of (3) 1\/2″ thick acrylic plates so the whole rig is excessively large and heavy, but I kind of meant for it to be that way. I wanted something as a little testbed for 2D effects, of which I’ve only made a few so far. I’ll post the 2D array code at some point, but I should clean it up and make sure it works with the newest FastSPI library first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
